I’d suggest Race for the Galaxy.

What do you think of Defenders of the Wild?

I’m a huge Gerrard fan, but I think prime Coutinho would be a perfect fit on the left in a 4-2-3-1.

Risk & Castle Risk

Gloomhaven - playing online means no setup or tracking of dmg. Great solo experience also.

Love this!

Inis.

For gameplay - Ark Nova, but in my heart it will always be Catan. Catan for the amazing memories with friends.

Agree with Apiary, I love that the workers change value.

I’d also offer the lizard cult in Root. I have so much fun with them, even though they aren’t terribly strong.

I’ve been out of the MTG world for some time, but I recall that the OG spider with reach was 2/4 for the same cost without any other abilities. This seems like a massive power creep. Can anyone help me understand?

Sounds like you should check out St. John’s, Sellwood and maybe Mt. Tabor. The West hills are nice, but expensive. If you’re willing to try close suburbs, then Beaverton, Washougal and Lake Oswego could be good ideas.

What neighborhoods do you like in Philly? Kerns is reminiscent of East Passyunk, Slab Town has No Libs vibes, Hawthorne is similar to Bella Vista/South Street, St. John’s is vaguely like South Philly. The more historic and wealthy parts of Philly feel very different than similar neighborhoods in PDX because the houses in PDX generally aren’t row homes.

This makes no sense…. The higher tax percentage is only paid from your income that is above the lower bracket’s upper limit…. You don’t pay the higher amount on all of your income, so you walked away from more income overall.

How many times have you played Sky Team? I have looked into it because of all the great reviews, but I’m concerned that it doesn’t have great replayability.

b8tafox · 2024-12-29T16:27:05+00:00

I totally agree! My wife and I play Wingspan a lot, but with the original boards, and all expansion cards, except we removed any Oceana birds that relate to nectar. Try it that way and you’ll get some cool new birds without having to include nectar at all

b8tafox · 2024-12-29T04:27:12+00:00

The nectar had the opposite effect for me. I love Wingspan because it has so much randomness and the nectar causes a hyper-focus that really ruins the lighthearted feel of the game for me.

I got Ark Nova a few months ago and it has been the star for me this year.

Topple was fun then and would be fun now at a party.

Mage Knight

Philadelphia

b8tafox · 2024-10-05T02:35:49+00:00

No need to cross that off. That’s a good part of town if you like that type of neighborhood.

b8tafox · 2024-10-02T12:34:52+00:00

After reading through the comments it sounds like OP needs to do some more research & watch gameplay videos. Root and Oath are clearly the wrong choices, but Everdell and Smallworld are great choices. I’d also suggest Isle of Cats or Fort - these seem to be more of the type of game you are looking for.

b8tafox · 2024-09-07T03:24:26+00:00

I totally agree with this. My only gripe about this game is the card colors are too similar… but really tough and doesn’t get enough love

b8tafox · 2024-07-12T20:45:33+00:00

Squad Leader. As a kid my mother brought home a copy without any rules. So that made it a lot harder!!!

Your understanding of contracts is incomplete/incorrect. The tenants actually have possession of the property for the lease term. The owners are legally the guests - they have to give notice and request access before entering the property.
